Is that … a red woman.

The last bits of the grotesque, red statue crumbled away, the fragments of said statue melting into the wet, red floor. The room’s shaking came to a stop, and in place of the statue, a red woman now stood. She had pointy ears and long (even longer than Bliss’s) hair. Her eyes, hair, and even complexion were red. She wore no clothes, instead standing in full nudity. Her breasts were small, much smaller than Bliss’s large ones, but her big butt was clearly larger than Bliss’s moderate backside. She was only a tad shorter than Bliss in height. From her back, a set of four red tentacles extended, connecting to the red floor behind her.

Bliss softly blushed as her golden eyes came to the red woman’s chest. The bunny succubus’s eyes traveled further south, coming to another feature of female anatomy. Her blush worsened.

“Like what you see?” The red woman thrust her right hip out and placed her right hand on it. Her red eyes were on Bliss. A smile was on her lips.

Bliss lowered her claws, her white bunny ears twitching. “Who are you?”

“Me?” The red woman’s smile widened. “I have no name, but you can call me the red dungeon.”

The red dungeon? Bliss’s bunny ears twitched again. Does that mean she is the dungeon?

The red woman spread her arms. “This red dungeon around us …” Her red eyes sparkled. “I am it.” She glanced to Alila and then returned her gaze to Bliss, a smile still on her lips. “It is time, succubus.” One of the four tentacles coming from her back detached from the floor. “Prove yourself, or die.”

Alila stepped in front of Bliss, her sword at the ready. Her golden aura still glowed around her. “Miss succubus, please escape.” Alila glanced to Bliss, her gray eyes serious. “This opponent is dangerous.”

Escape? Bliss glanced to the room’s single exit and then to Lati, who still lay unconscious. What about Lati? A wet-sounding thud drew her attention back to the exit. The red door had been shut and sealed with various red tentacles. Somehow, I do not think escaping is going to be a real option here.

“Sorry, but you are not going anywhere, succubus.” The red dungeon giggled, bringing her free tentacle to her mouth. Her giggle echoed from the red walls. “None of you are going anywhere.” She giggled again.

Alila crouched down and then rushed the red dungeon. The red dungeon lashed her free tentacle toward the fast-approaching blonde. Alila’s short twintails bounced as her sword met red tentacle. Her charge abruptly came to a stop. Her brown shoes began to skid back. A moment later, her stance broke, and that one tentacle sent Alila flying back.

Alila, the Blessed hero, gasped in pain as she unceremoniously crashed into the wet, pulsing stone of the strangely soft wall. Her sword slipped from her grasp and clattered to the floor below. She, though, did not fall. Instead, tentacles reached out from the wall and ensnared her. She struggled yet could not free herself. Her golden aura died away.

The red dungeon already beat miss hero? Bliss gulped, both her bunny ears and tail twitched. Even her succubi wings nervously fluttered a bit. Her golden eyes went from the bound hero to the red dungeon. It is up to me. Bliss glanced to the unconscious Lati, then glanced to the tentacle-bound Alila, and finally returned her golden eyes to the red dungeon. I will protect both of them. Her eyes met the red dungeon’s eyes.

“Now that that is out of the way …” The red dungeon began walking towards Bliss, waving her free tentacle around. The three other tentacles coming from her back were still connected to the floor, but the connection points shifted to facilitate her movement. “That just leaves us, succubus.” She stopped walking and pointed her free tentacle at Bliss. “Why don’t we have some fun? How do you feel about tentacles?”

Do I stand any chance with a head-on attack? She thought back to Alila’s attack. Miss hero had been overpowered by a single tentacle. Her eyes went to the four tentacles extending from the red dungeon’s back. Three of those four tentacles were still connected to the floor. She glanced down to her claws. Maybe if I can get behind her … She glanced to the life-force lights. The lighting is right for that kind of thing.

Bliss looked to the red dungeon, the eyes of the two women meeting. She smirked and then vanished into the shadows. Now! Just as she materialized behind the red dungeon, she unleashed a right-handed Shadow Claw to her target’s back. The slash landed, earning a startled gasp from between the red dungeon’s lips. Bliss followed up with a left-handed Shadow Claw, a little eep sounding in response. She threw Shadow Claw after Shadow Claw in a terrifying flurry. A mix of eeps and moans poured from between the red dungeon’s lips. Finally, Bliss relented, panting heavily. In front of Bliss, the red dungeon was on her hands and knees, the red dungeon’s butt facing Bliss.

Did that work? Bliss still panted, her white bunny ears drooping. How could that not work? Her ears twitched a bit and a slight tint of red came to her cheeks as she realized she was staring at the other woman’s bare backside. Her ears twitched again, and she sweatdropped. That is not possible. Her golden eyes widened, and the color drained from her face. She does not have a single scratch on her. Bliss took a shaky step back, her bunny ears and tail twitching. That is just not possible.

“Impressive.” The red dungeon, still on her hands and knees, looked back to Bliss. “You did not just hit me. You outright pummeled me.” She returned to her feet and faced Bliss. Her lips twisted into a large smile. “That … kind of felt good. Now its my turn.” She thrust her one free tentacle forward. It slammed into Bliss’s gut.

Pain shot through Bliss as her black high-heels lost contact with the wet, strangely soft stone of the red floor. She sailed through the air, propelled by the tentacle pressing against her abdomen. More pain exploded through her as she slammed against the red wall. She dropped down as the offending tentacle pulled back, a Bliss-shaped indentation being left in the wall. She sat on the floor with her back against the wall and the taste of blood in her mouth. Her shadow claws vanished.

So much … pain. Bliss winced, her bunny ears drooping. Her breaths came out in labored pants. I have to … protect Lati … and miss hero. She tried to stand but promptly collapsed back down. She winced again as her ass met wet, red floor. I have to … protect them. Finally, she willed herself back to her feet and then re-summoned her shadow claws.
